TheMoveChannel.com acquires Lead Galaxy

Leading UK and international property search portal TheMoveChannel.com has acquired top lead generation agency Lead Galaxy.

TheMoveChannel.com will take over the overseas property website portfolio operated by Lead Galaxy, in a deal which stands to create the world's largest and most popular international property website.

With more than 45 different 'venture' sites dedicated to property sales in countries all over the world, the deal will see TheMoveChannel.com take an even greater share of web traffic, particularly in locations such as Cape Verde, the Caribbean, Egypt, Florida, Italy, Malaysia, Montenegro, Turkey and the UAE.

Whilst all of the property sites will now come under TheMoveChannel.com brand, the combined power of both TheMoveChannel.com and Lead Galaxy will ensure that visitors can browse the broadest spectrum of properties for sale, while allowing advertisers to maximise the number and quality of leads generated for their listed properties.

Dan Johnson, of TheMoveChannel.com said, "This deal will undoubtedly consolidate our position as the leading overseas property portal.

"With a bigger advertiser base and a far wider choice for investors, TheMoveChannel.com will be at the forefront of overseas property search and of course, the more users and more enquiries we attract, the more sales there will be for advertisers," he said.

Gerard Doyle, Director of Lead Galaxy, said, "I am very much looking forward to joining the board of directors at TheMoveChannel.com.

"This amalgamation between two extremely strong networks will allow existing Lead Galaxy advertisers to reach an even wider audience and attract more interest than ever in their properties.

"The consolidated brand and new technology platform can only help to improve visitor loyalty and maximise value for our advertisers," he added.

Going forward, the joint forces of these two industry heavyweights will provide a powerful platform for launching into new and untapped markets, with a wide range of planned projects that includes multilingual portals, web services and personal finance.

The consolidated sites will be live today, Thursday February 5th, at www.themovechannel.com
